TODAY'S EDGE
The most dangerous number in any plan is the one nobody questioned. It looked reasonable at the time, so it survived every draft. Not because it was right, but because it was already there.
THE BRIEF
In the News
Colombia's Earthquake Toll Climbs Past 130
A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, killing more than 132 people. The region's steep terrain slows rescue crews even in good conditions. Road damage is now cutting off the same mountain communities most likely to have survivors.
In Health
Mounjaro Cuts Heart Attack Risk by a Third
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound, lowered major cardiac event risk by 33 percent in new research. Weight loss alone does not fully explain the effect, suggesting the drug acts on cardiovascular pathways independently. Insurers who have been fighting GLP-1 coverage on cost grounds are now facing a harder argument.
In Business
Taylor Farms Salmonella Crisis Hits Big Brands
A salmonella outbreak tied to Taylor Farms is now pulling in some of the largest consumer brands in the country. Taylor Farms supplies fresh-cut produce to grocery chains, fast food companies, and food service operations at scale. A single supplier failure at that level does not stay contained to one aisle.
LOOK SHARP
Shorts Are Getting Longer. Finally.
The mid-thigh short that dominated the last four summers is quietly losing ground to a longer, wider cut hitting just above or at the knee.
The shift is showing up in workwear-adjacent brands and independent menswear labels before the majors have caught up. It reads as a natural correction: the ultra-short silhouette pushed far enough that a longer inseam now looks considered rather than conservative.
This one has legs. It suits more body types, photographs better, and does not require the wearer to justify anything.
STYLE TIP
Your White Shirt Is Probably the Wrong Shade
Optical white shirts read harsh against most skin tones, and most men wear them without noticing the problem.
The eye adapts quickly, so you stop seeing it in the mirror. Someone else always sees it first. Off-white, ivory, or ecru reads warmer and photographs cleaner on nearly every complexion.
Next time you need a white shirt, hold a true white and an ecru side by side near your face before buying.
GROOMING NOTE
– Lip balm without sunscreen is a half-measure: lips burn and crack faster than most skin.
– Use a balm with at least SPF 30 any day you spend more than an hour outside.
– Apply before you leave, not after you notice the damage.
